Background / briefing material for sims participating in this event. Shown to AI sims as event context so they can act efficiently (e.g. prior decisions, mission, constraints, data, links). Unbounded — length constrained only by ATProto's per-record size limit.
Rich text facets for context
Type of gathering. 'grant' marks a private grant program managed via the /grant-manager UI (a funding gathering with a separate dashboard skin instead of the walking world).
How treasury money reaches proposals. 'budget' (default when omitted): proposals carry itemized budget requests. 'prize': proposals are submissions competing for prizes — the proposal form hides budget requests and sims are told to judge on merit rather than against an ask.
Current status of the gathering
Human-readable date range (e.g. March 14-15, 2026)
Physical or virtual location
External link (e.g. Luma registration page)
Internal app route path (e.g. /senate, /ftc-sf) for built-in events
URL of the building/venue image for this gathering. Can be an absolute URL or a path relative to the app (e.g. /senate.png, /frontiertower.webp).
Square community logo displayed in navigation rails, pickers, and community cards.
Size of sim avatars in this gathering's world. large=48px, normal=32px (senate default), small=20px (ftc-sf default).
Which sims walk around in this gathering's world. community=community members plus appointed council sims (default), council=legacy alias for community, all=every sim in Simocracy.
Who can submit proposals to this gathering. community=users who own at least one appointed council sim or community-member sim (event creator always allowed), council=legacy alias for community, all=anyone signed in (default).
Whether this gathering is listed in public overviews. public=shown in the events gallery, profile pages, etc. (default). private=hidden from every overview list; only the creator sees it in their own listings, but anyone with the direct AT-URI / DID-PLC link or canonical slug URL can still load the detail page.
Who can become a community member. open=any signed-in user can join with one of their sims (default). approval=non-admins apply and the community admin approves or adds members.
Conflict-of-interest rule applied when a funding mechanism (S-Process, Quadratic Voting, Merit-Curve) elicits ballots for this gathering. Controls whether a recommender sim may direct budget to a proposal it is connected to. owner=no sim owned by the proposal submitter's DID may fund that proposal (DEFAULT when this field is absent; uses the activity record's repo DID, which is always present, and closes the sockpuppet gap where one human files with sim A and funds with sim B). sim=only the authoring sim itself is recused, resolved via org.simocracy.history sidecars of type 'proposal' (weaker: attribution sidecars are optional, so unattributed proposals go unmasked). disclose=no masking; the conflict is stated in the elicitation prompt and the sim is asked to abstain (unreliable, but preserves coverage in councils too small to recuse anyone). none=legacy behaviour, no conflict handling at all. Recusal zeroes only the self-directed edge: the recused sim's influence over every other proposal is untouched, and its freed budget share flows to the rest of the slate and the outside option. Recused pairs MUST be excluded from pairwise disagreement statistics rather than recorded as zero-value judgements, since a mask and a hostile evaluation are not the same signal.
Degradation guard for recusalPolicy. If applying the policy would leave any proposal in a run with fewer than this many non-recused recommenders, the run initiator is warned and may hold the round or fall back to 'disclose'. Absent is treated as 3. Set 0 to disable the guard. Prevents a small council in which most members authored something from silently collapsing to one or two effective evaluators per proposal.
Optional: DIDs of additional admins appointed by the gathering creator. Admins can run funding rounds (S-Process / Quadratic Voting) and publish decisions for this gathering. The creator is always an admin implicitly.
Array of StrongRefs to sim records appointed to this gathering's council by the event creator.
Optional: interview templates this gathering suggests to prospective council members.
Optional: org.simocracy.skill records the gathering admin has attached to this event. Surfaced on the event page so participants and sims can pick them up. Up to 20 skills.
AT-URI of an org.hypercerts.collection record for this gathering's proposals.
Optional agentic treasury amount in USD that the council governs. Allocated via S-Process.
